Collaborative Environment - OGC IP Team provides synchronous and asynchronous collaboration environments for cross organizational, globally distributed, virtual teams working
interdependently to execute Initiative Orders
.
Activities under this subtask include reading email and engaging in collaborative discussions such as regular teleconferences.
Initiative Plan Development – Support development of Project Plans, Project Schedules and Work Breakdown Structures Work Package. May include Technical and Project Management
Approach, TasksSchedules, Communications Plans, Resource Plans, Risk and Mitigation Strategies, and definition of the Specification andor Component Development and Integration
Tasks necessary to realize the Technical, Operational and Systems Architectures.
Management - Services ensuring Initiative Order participants are staying within designated budgets, that the work is progressing according to the agreed schedule, and that the tasks identified
in the Statement of Work, including status reporting, are executed..
Communication – Includes communicating ongoing and planned Initiative and Work Item Status to OGC and other organizations such as ISO. This task does not include IP Business Development
functions.
4.2 Assessment and Analysis
This task analyzes and documents an organization’s or domains existing capabilities and assesses requirements for OGC compliant technology. This task can occur as part of any testbed planning process. .
4.3 Architecture Development
This task defines the architectural views for any given Initiative. In the context of the Open GIS Interoperability Program, there are potentially three–and perhaps more - architectural views for any given
effort. These views are the Operational Architecture, Technical Architecture, and System Architecture. Part of the Architecture Development task may be the use of an RFQCFP to industry to enable
organizations interested in participating in an Interoperability Initiative to respond with a proposal. This task may also be implemented during Planning Studies.
4.4 Initiative Preparation
This task defines the participant budget if any and defines and executes agreements and contracts that outline roles and responsibilities of each participant. This task may refine the Work Package.
4.5 Specification Development
This task defines and develops models, schemas, encodings, and interfaces necessary to realize required Architectures. It includes specification Pre-design and Design tasks. This task may also include activities
to coordinate ongoing Initiatives with Specification Program activities.
4.6 Component Development
This task develops prototype interoperable commercial software components based on draft candidate implementation specifications or adopted specifications necessary to realize the required Architecture.
4.7 Testing and Integration
